bore me to tears: Hey, I remember this dog

JJ Ross said...: SO the scientific question is, could any dog actually survive six years of barking (and I don't mean physiologically but in human terms -- could any human plausibly stand nonstop barking for six years without stopping it by any means at their disposal up to and including disposal?)

Maybe if its handlers were profoundly deaf sociopaths?; 7/25/08 6:09 AM

Or, failing that, a bit of rat poison sprinkled on a juicy steak. (There's a large pit bull living behind us who tempts me to do just this.); 7/27/08 12:51 PM

Sadly, though, I do live next door to that in poodle form. The dog barks nonstop. It barks at me when it's in the back yard and can see me in my house. It barks when we're outside. It is so loud, we can hear it barking in its house. When we're in our house.

Yap, yap, yap.

I love the part where the neighbor said, "I'd like to kill it." I so get that, although I could never, ever hurt an animal. Well, unless it was hurting me or my child or another child.

It's no wonder I have high anxiety levels!
